Arrowhead Lodge of SW. Iowa.

This custom designed glamping lodge was a dream of mine for a long time. I wanted a place to go to unwind and be with one with nature. But! wanted it close to town so I do not have to travel far and still be close to the city attractions.
AC and Heat are in the Lodge 

The lodge backs up to a large hill--called the Loess Hills. Many deer, raccoon, possum and turkey call it home and so does a few pets of mine to include a mini schwazer and two goats. They just love being adorned by new people. I think you will find this a perfect place for a good nights sleep.

Two Old Hoes on Hippie Hill

Learn more about this land:

You can camp, wander, head down the road to Viking Lake. Easy, relaxing and not too many rules. I don't do trash, unattended firepits or really loud gatherings past dusk. I love to camp but, this is our oasis.  We also have outdoor dogs that help keep the coyotes and wildlife at bay. The means that they may bark at night.

Omaha Campsite - ONE SITE ONLY

DO NOT DRIVE THRU CAMPGROUND

My ONE and ONLY Hipcamp site is locate right at the entrance of this small property.  All campers must be 35 feet or less in length and given the small size of the campground it's easiest if you arrive before dark.   

The entrance is on a curve so make sure you enter from the left hand side of the road and don't be afraid to roll thru a little grass to make sure you have plenty of room.  Make a hard hairpin turn to the right and your campsite is straight ahead and like everything here, a pull-thru site. (Please see HIPCAMP main photo)

This is a long-term campground but I keep this one spot up front for our traveling friends to enjoy as you move across the country as options can be limited.  Enjoy your stay and if you're ever unsure about anything just give me a ring.

Please make sure to arrive before dark.  Small campground and quiet community with minimal lighting can make for a challenging and sometimes disorienting arrival if not careful.

Dispersed tent area. Pets are welcome but please keep on leash

The Fence-Post

I am located to the West of Interstate 29 off exit 95 halfway between Omaha, Nebraska and Sioux City, Iowa. It is near where the Little Sioux River meets the Missouri River. There is river access with bank fishing and a boat ramp. The Loess Hills are nearby and the state forest. There are small lakes in the surrounding areas and Lewis and Clark parks with beautiful views.
